"Originally stemming from MeeGo, birthed under Nokia's watch, Sailfish has since gone its own way and is maturing into a mobile platform getting ready for launch. This week at the Mobile World Congress, we tracked down Jolla and Mosconi again, getting the opportunity in the process to check out a live Sailfish demo. We check out how notifications work, look at the Sailfish take on a status bar, and get to see the media player with all its gesture support." By far the most unique and interesting of the alternative mobile platforms. Very fancy.

I am the only one not liking that the home screen background also seems to be the background troughout the entire OS? I quickly get tired of seeing it.

Well, I can say that it doesn't bother me. I collect wallpapers, so it's not difficult for me to just change it if I ever grow tired of it. That said, I can certainly understand that some people might grow tired of it faster than others and therefore it would make sense to have a setting for disabling the wallpaper in non-homescreen situations.
